Need bash help to Hobbit client

I'm working on a Hobbit client for TS, but I have hit a problem which I attribute to busybox.

Hobbit is a web based monitoring tool similar to Big Brother, but free (as in speech). Demo site here http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/ and here http://www.hswn.dk/hobbit/servers/servers.html.

I have the client mostly working (I think), but I have a complete show stopper, which I attribute to busybox as the same script runs nicely on my Ubuntu test box. If I by hand run the script " hobbitclient.sh" it claims:
./hobbitclient.sh: ./hobbitclient.sh: 79: <at> : not found

Line 79 i just a "fi", so I believe line 69 is the problem:
$BB $BBDISP " <at> " < $MSGTMPFILE >$LOGFETCHCFG.tmp

Neighter busybox nor me seems to understand this line :-). $BB is an executeable, $BBDISP an ip number (the display server) and the two others are text files.

Anyone has an idea how to rephrase that line to something busybox friendly? Or someone wants my half done work to finish it. Because I'm stuck!

Re: Need bash help to Hobbit client

What does the " <at> " signify?  That's the problem, I think.

Re: Need bash help to Hobbit client

Mike,

I didn't find in the script the declarations of the "$BB" and 
"$BBDISPLAY". If the shell doesn't know it, the line will be interpreted 
as " <at>  < $MSGTMPFILE >$LOGFETCHCFG.tmp", which means execute application " <at> ".

Are these variables exported before executing this shell script?

Osvaldo.

Re: Multiple IP addresses with NET_FILE_A LTERNATE possible?

Looks great.  I'll have to look at this more closely at a more

Problem getting xvkbd working

Hi all,

I have just started trying to make a thinstation image that works from a 
compact flash based ide drive for my progear web pad ( http://progear.org/ ).

I have got as far as getting the mutouch touchscreen driver working - I 
created a package that changes the /etc/init.d/x script to add in the 
reference to it and to add a bit onto the XF86Config-Xorg.tpl file.
The package is available here 
http://imcfarla.homelinux.net/thinstation/xorg6-mutouch.tar.gz

I have also created a package for xvkbd - an on screen keyboard that sends 
events using the XTEST extension 
(http://imcfarla.homelinux.net/thinstation/xvkbd.tar.gz).  However the 
application does not work as expected.  xev gets the virtual keypresses but 
the xterm app doesn't.  Does anyone know of any reason why the xterm wouldn't 
work?

Regards,

Iain

Re: Multiple IP addresses with NET_FILE_A LTERNATE possible?

Quoting TechFan <lists.sf.net@...>:

Works fine as advertised.

I have also submitted the patches to Miles (via a Feature Request

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1548460&group_id=80408&atid=559681),
so will hopefully make 2.2.1 as part of the 
base.

PS. In the patches I use param baseurl (rather than wgetconf).
